Safran's Poland Factory Ramps Up Blade Production
The Poland plant is expected to turn out 180,000 Leap blades this year.

As the Leap engine program ramps up, Safran celebrated the opening of a new manufacturing facility near Rzeszow, Poland on July 4th. The 8,000-sq-meter (86,400-sq-ft) facility will make low-pressure turbine blades for Leap engines, a product of CFM International, the 50/50 joint venture between GE (Chalet P2) and Safran Aircraft Engines (Chalet C6).
